All I will do is stop it down,lowest ISO,exposure compensate and use a CP as a last resort. Very "ghetto" but it works. No filters? Shoot early or late and get those really long times.

My turn for critique. Taken awhile back- Naptime. Don't like the blanket but I lack the PS skill for that one.

The details really make this shot, along with the soft light to facilitate it. Also, being nice and tight gives you a perspective that you can't really see unaided with you eye. All of that makes for an attractive shot.
